What to expect
'I AM SO HOOKED I MAY AS WELL BE A LITTLE FISH IN A FISHING POND' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Daggers ready. The battle is beginning.
Every night I kill and I kill and I kill. And do you know what I do while I’m soaking my hand in blood? I enjoy it.
Cursed with a gift from the God of Death, and robbed of every person she has ever loved, Chiara lives only for destruction. Her heart is closed.
So when she is summoned by her bitter enemy the new king, Callum, to embark on a life-threatening journey into the godly realm, her answer, of course, is no. No matter that the future of the mortal world is at stake.
But Callum is no ordinary enemy. Their hatred stems from passion. She can never forgive what he has done, and yet Chiara’s dark soul still craves his.
But Gods don’t wait for human hearts to heal. War is coming. To save mankind, Chiara and Callum must join forces. When fighting the gods, Chiara is about to learn that it’s a fine line between life and death, vengeance and mercy…enemies and lovers.
